Samuel Stephens (North Carolina)

Samuel Stephens (North Carolina)

Samuel Stephens (1629-1669) was the Governor of the Albemarle colony (which would later become North Carolina) from 1667 until his death in late 1669. He was appointed by the Lords Proprietor to succeed William Drummond.

Before King Charles II of England established the Province of Carolina, Stephens had served as "commander of the southern plantations" for the Colony of Virginia between 1662 and 1664. The "southern plantations" roughly corresponded to what would later be northeastern North Carolina.
